Corporate Detainee Processing Microstate (Gitmo.)
While a dangerously stupid policy of rewards led many to turn in tribal enemies to the Americans as “terrorists,” the controversy masks a more important reality, what to do with those from country A, caught fighting in country B and detained by country C. Until this issue is discussed in earnest by Europe and the United States minus the protests, holier-than-thou attitudes and other silliness, Guantanamo will continue to fill a “market gap.” Perhaps the real way forward is maintaining US control but with foreign liasons on site and using Guantanmo as a processing center through which terrorists are sent back home to face trial.
Or let the “processing center” be the service provided by a private firm. Think about the potential of a corporate terrorist processing micro-state in the context of distributed small teams of bounty hunters paying for intel from private firms to hunt down and take out/down bad guys for a “keystoning” market-state that provides bounty-incentives.
